Stitch used to adorn this part of the Magic Kingdom during a Mickey Not So Scary Halloween Party. I haven't noticed much of him for several years now.

A rainy day at Walt Disney World is still better than a sunny day at work.

Missed posting yesterday, so as usual, you'll get two today. This time, the theme is holidays at WDW.

The first one is Jingle Bells, Jingle Bam! at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

This is the Trolley Song show by the cast members at Magic Kingdom.

From beginning to end, Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios has the best theming. Even way out in the outdoor queue line, what you see can already spook you out.

This is the highlight of the "afternoon parade" at the Magic Kingdom. I'm glad they brought it back after it caught fire a year ago.

Can't have too many fireworks photo. This is from Illuminations.

Both photos today have FIRE!

The stampede after the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. Obviously, this is way before social distancing.

Cancelled Trip to Aulani

Today would have been the day we were to fly off to Hawaii and spend 6 nights at Aulani! 😔

I can only sigh... we are definitely aiming for next year.

Disney Parks Shutdown Photo of the Day 48 - The Reopening of Disney Springs

Welcome back, Disney Springs! We have missed you!

Today, Disney Springs begins a gradual reopening after being shut down due to the COVID-19. I'm posting 3 photos to celebrate. I just wish the guests do not do a foolish Wisconsin-bar scene.

Even Donald wants to say hi and welcome back to Disney Springs!

We're still hoping the the Disney N. America parks will open soon. Disney Springs will be opening in 4 days.

In the meantime, this was the holiday tag at the end of Illuminations at Epcot's World Showcase lagoon.

Missed posting yesterday, so you'll get two today.

In honor of Disney Springs being the first area at WDW to open (and the first part of Disney resort in N. America to open), here is a photo of Disney Springs.

But of course, everyone is waiting for the actual theme parks to open, and the Magic Kingdom will be one that a lot of people will be watching for.

Disney Parks Shutdown Photo of the Day 37

Missed posting yesterday, so here are two today.

Here's a bit of nostalgia from many years ago. It was still called Downtown Disney, and there was still Pleasure Island. This was in front of the Lego store.

I didn't take this one. This was taken by a cast member who was escorting us as we did the Wild Africa Trek at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Of course this is a photo over the crocs that you see during the Kilimanjaro Safari ride. It was such a fun thing to do, we'd love to do it again.

Disney Parks Shutdown Photo of the Day 36

Missed posting a photo yesterday, so there will be two today.

Yesterday was May the 4th, with his the unofficial Star Wars Day for May The 4th Be With You. So the first photo is a Star Wars related one. This is from Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The second one is from Castaway Cay when we stop over twice during a DVC Member Cruise.

Ah, to be there now.....
